SUMMARYToday we're trying a new format for this podcast.When The Carbon Connection launched one year ago, the objective was to highlight climate conversations happening around the world. The plan was to collaborate with hosts and producers of other podcasts and highlight their conversations with guests. Click on the link in the show notes to see the conversations we've been able to share, thanks to the independent podcasters and teams with which we've had the opportunity to collaborate.Moving forward, we will continue to highlight climate conversations. This time we're sitting down with partners of The Carbon Almanac Network.In the podcast's new format, we'll speak with partners to learn more about their community engagement efforts, what has worked for them, what hasn't, and what they've learned.
